"I am very picky with my doctors and I have to admit Dr Pirzada is amazing. I have been seeing him now for 7 years and I am always pleased. He gives you his undivided attention, is very knowledgeable in everything. If you have health concerns or want additional testing he will gladly request it for you. And his front desk staff is the nicest, if I ever need them to email me test results that just got in from other doctors they will do so right away! Yes sometimes you have to wait a bit to see him but I think that’s a small price to pay for such an amazing doctor."

"Great doctor but no follow through on getting your prescription sent to your pharmacy or lab work orders submitted. Staff does not call back or reply to messages via their health app or email. I recommend this doctor for his knowledge but you will not get a good experience or service from his staff. Beware."

"My husband and I see Dr Prazada. He is a phenomenal physician and his staff is also amazing. I have nothing bad to say. Last week I had a health crisis and the office manager was very gracious and worked me in with the NP."

"Do NOT go here. He was an hour late to the appointment we scheduled, then spent the entire appointment trying to disprove and underplay what I was telling him about my health. He spent the entire time talking over me and disrespecting me, and rushed me out as quickly as he could. He prescribed me horrible medication that is known to be very bad, which promptly gave me extreme anxiety and paranoia, and auditory/visual hallucinations (do NOT take Quiviviq). When I called about this, he did not respond. His staff had to talk to me later about this. I conducted a sleep study that he ordered, and he sat on my results without telling me he received them. I had to CALL HIM to confirm that they did actually have my results after calling the hospital and being told that they had been sent to him a while ago. The next appointment I had with him was a scheduled phone appointment regarding the results. I waited and waited and waited, until the staff called me THREE HOURS LATE while I was AT WORK just to ask to reschedule. The rescheduled phone appointment with him was equally as bad. He spent the entire appointment talking over me, not listening, and not hearing what I was trying to communicate with him regarding my issues. He tried pushing Adderall on me to fix my sleep issues (????) and then pushed a 2nd medication that was equally highly disliked by users. Do NOT waste your time, money, energy, gas, or brain power on this doctor. He does not care about you and he does not respect you. Go elsewhere."

"I've been a patient of Dr. Pirzada for approximately 10yrs (primarily due to location being 5min from my house) and only visit for annual physicals, random ailments or the occasional flu and consider him a good physician. However, his office and operation is less than desirable. The complaints about excessive wait times is valid. Even though the waiting room is empty, the time to actually see someone averages between 48-52 minutes after the originally scheduled appointment (I have supporting documentation to prove this), I've waited as long as 90+ minutes and had to leave due to other commitments. They obviously don't care about your time or schedule. When walking into the office, they have a frosted glass door at the front desk. Even though they can hear you and know that someone is checking in, they will not acknowledge you or open the sliding glass door until you ring the bell. This process itself indicates that they are not interested in making patients feel welcome. My most recent visit was for a physical and it was communicated to me that if I ask any questions it would cost more money. What's the point of visiting a physician if you're not allowed to ask questions? It was communicated to me this is how the staff was trained because patients ask too many questions. Also, I filled out the form for a flu shot and never received it, so have to assume that was not part of the annual physical. I was also convinced that buying a C-PAP machine directly from Dr. Pirzada was better than going thru insurance. So after paying $800, the machine stopped working after 3mos. If money and/or time is not important than this could be a decent primary care solution for you but note that they will attempt to nickel and dime you at every turn. Also, they are great at pushing prescriptions, which I assume is the primary revenue stream for them. Just say a letter in the alphabet and you'll have a multitude of pills waiting at your local pharmacy. In short, they are essentially glorified drug dealers which is not what I'm looking for. Based on this commentary, I will be seeking other options for primary care but wanted others to be aware of the issues you might face. Note that the ZocDoc reviews are significantly higher than Google, so there is obviously a disconnect or preferential treatment is going towards select patients. I completely understand the challenges in dealing with patients on a daily basis but there has to be better way to improve upon the experience at this office."
